Whether you are trying to lose weight, maintain or just stay healthy, making your way through the holiday season can be a challenge, which is why Our Lady of Weight Loss instructed me to roll out her Ten Commandments of Holiday Weight Loss.  

• Thou shalt honor thy body and believe in thyself.
  
  Be kind, loving and forgiving to yourself, first and foremost – always.
• Thou shalt never leave home hungry.
  Eat something before the party. A salad, some fruit, even an egg will do. And plenty of water and/or seltzer.
• Thou shalt stay clear of the buffet table.
  Get away from the food. Why torture yourself? Socialize – have a fun conversation!
• Thou shalt not deny thyself a treat or two now and then.
  Fill up your plate with Our Lady approved foods, and leave a little space for your favorite treat. Too much denial isn’t a good thing.
• Thou shalt recycle food gifts.
  Quick, fast – before you change your mind. Give the candy, the cakes, the food away.
• Thou shalt keep thy hands busy.
  Try knitting, crocheting, cutting & pasting, needlepoint, draw, write – anything to keep your hands busy. Give your creations as gifts!
• Thou shalt stay clear of sweat pants.
  Wear snug clothing. No room for expansion, no sweats please!
• Thou shalt walk – a lot!
  Ask Santa for a pedometer for Christmas. And then use it!
• Thou shalt drink enough Holy Water to frighten Noah and map out all the restrooms in thy village.
  Drink up – water that is.
• Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s plate.For more holiday weight loss wisdom, visit Our Lady of Weight Loss’s Kick in the Tush Club/Facebook!
